ABSTRACT:
The invention is a nitrogen oxide trap separate catalyst phases. One of the phases is platinum on a porous support and another is alkali metal or elements and alkaline earth elements on another porous support. The phases may be provided as an intimate mixture or as layers in the trap. The trap may be used in an internal combustion engine exhaust gas catalyst system. During lean-burn operation of the engine the trap adsorbs nitrogen oxides and releases the nitrogen oxides during decreased oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas.
